What exactly does this phrase mean.......

I name and appoint (name redacted) as independent executrix of my estate with full seizin and without bond.

This was in my uncles will. He named a sketch relative as executrix and of course sketchy activity is happening.

Just trying to protect my mom's interests.

Are your sure it's a legit will?

Seizen means possession. Without bond means she doesn't have to procure a surety bond insuring her from raping the estate.

Hope you lawyers put a disclaimer on your legal advice for this thread.

'Season without bond' is a low-sodium seasoning for older people with blood pressure issues.

have the executrix declared a spendthrift and seek a constructive trust or TRO until such time as you can show your uncle was nuts, otherwise manipulated.

happens everyday. I am not a lawyer you can rely on. go find a real lawyer in the flesh and do not believe any shat you read here. Fact pattern sounds like an exam question from a cheesy law school

Try google. And then find an attorney.

It means your uncle bought a will off the internet, and your Mom should hire an attorney tomorrow morning.

What has the relative done that makes you consider them "sketch"?

The concept of seizin refers to taking possession and ownership of assets. The language is unnecessary in a Will. The phrase "without bond" simply means that the testator dispensed with the requirement of posting a bond by the executor. The purpose of the bond is to protect the succession assets.
